Racist and filthy club. “Superfan” Joffa and Straughnie just lame attempts of promoting themselves. If Joffa supported any other team the media wouldn’t pay any attention to him. I hope he gets convicted 

 

Basket Case club and I hope they implode more than what they have so far.

Pluses and minuses here.

Would you think it good to have no candidates to vote for in the upcoming State elections?

10 candidates gives members options, it's called democracy.

The down side of democracy is you are answerable to your constituents and this can make some things difficult to achieve as not all of them will agree with your ideas. Some might even have better ideas.

They weren't a basket case this year.  Far from it. I'm in oar of what they achieved this year.

It's hardly democracy at Collingwood while only about 10,000 of their 100,000 members have voting rights.  That club could implode and there's nothing the "members" can do about it.

No, that's just a little bit crook.

It's massively crook, isn't it?  I don't see how they can be termed members if they don't have voting rights.  Only the social club members and coterie have voting rights.  It's a strange situation.  Brisbane Lions are also set up that way.

This article explains what the situation stood last year.  I cannot see any evidence of them having an SGM to change that aspect of their ordinary membership definition, unless it was an agenda item in their AGM last December, for which I'm struggling to find the minutes of. If the situation has changed, then good on them, and I stand corrected.

Good points @rjay. Democracy as a social experiment is in retreat globally, good to see the Filth bucking the trendÂ đŸ€Ł

They are both consistent aren't they?

Article states AFL Club Support member

Club note states AFL members not eligible

Actually, the article is poorly written and confuses Barry Cassidy opinion with example of the specific Member, and the 15k/85k number doesn't seem right given Melbourne has a 42k/23k ratio with similar categories and some similarity in rules

 

Melbourne has MCC/ MFC (basic/premium) - for a long time the only difference really was a Vote, then they threw in some steak knifes

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
